Yes. Linux saves its memory state in an area of the hard disk (a
Linux swap file or partition) which is not changed by Windows.
You only have to be careful in all cases where some data of the
Linux system might be changed while it is in hibernation:
- Some other installed Linux distribution or Live CD which writes
into your Debian partition or swap file.
- If you have a parition of your Vista system mounted, better
umount it before hibernation.
